The Parish Church of St Wulfram, Grantham

The Parish Church of St Wulfram, Grantham

The Parish Church of St Wulfram is an Anglican parish church in Grantham, Lincolnshire, England. It is a Grade I listed building and has the second tallest spire in Lincolnshire after Louth's parish church.

The church was built in the 12th and 13th centuries, and was extensively restored in the 1860s by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The spire is 84 meters (276 feet) tall and is made of limestone. It is decorated with pinnacles and flying buttresses.

The interior of the church is spacious and light. The nave is divided into five bays by pointed arches. The chancel is at a higher level than the nave and is separated from it by a choir screen. The church has a number of stained glass windows, including some by William Morris.

The church is dedicated to St Wulfram, a 7th-century bishop of Sens, France. Wulfram is said to have brought a relic of the True Cross to Grantham, and the church became a popular pilgrimage destination.

The church was built on the site of an earlier church, which was probably founded in the 7th century. The present church was built in stages over the 12th and 13th centuries. The spire was added in the 14th century.

The church was restored in the 1860s by Sir George Gilbert Scott. Scott removed some of the later additions to the church, and restored it to its medieval appearance.

The Lectern is being cleaned and restored

some parts have been remade and replaced.

to help reach out to 1 million youngsters by 2031.

Stand as an Independent South Kesteven District Council

Stand as an Independent

at elections in May of this year, this will give people the opportunity to elect new members to represent them on South Kesteven District Council for the following four years.
Mike Williams is looking to recruit anyone who would like to stand as an Independent candidate.
Independents are exactly that, free of the party whip and able to make decisions in line with their conscience. The current Independents come from all shades of the political spectrum but who do work extremely well together because there is no pressure from political masters, the way you vote on any issue is entirely up to the individual.
If anyone would like to become a candidate, especially in rural areas, please contact Mike Williams and he will arrange a meeting to explain what is expected of a district councillor and will also try to arrange a tour of the council offices.
